We have the Bigfoot in our signature below. The brochure from that year gives the Base Dry Weight at 2790 lb. The weight given on the outside tag says it has a base weight of 3222 lb with 39 gal water, 6 cu ft refrigerator, and 20 lb propane. The interior RV Spec Nameplate sheet gives the Factory Mass as 3,317 lb. I believe the latter is the dry weight with options. So my guess is the weight of the 25C9.4 that was provided by the owner is likely the RV Spec Nameplate weight since I'd expect there to be more than 10 lb difference given the foot difference in length.

Thanks for the info. I'll see if Bigfoot can provide a weight if I give them the VIN.

2500 9.6 Bigfoot Birth year 2000... Wet weight 2600 Water 50 gal and 2 propane tanks per the label on the camper.

Loaded for camping right at 4,000. Camper has traveled almost 200,000 miles on 2 f250's. 2wd. Vision wheels and 19.5.s and airbags along with Bilstein shocks is all we have done for stability.

I often thought that the wet weight Bfoot and other Mfg's list does not include the stove, fridge, mattress and anything else you can have on it from the factory.
